The most helpful team and the greatest experience
5/5

This was our first Safari tour and we did not know what to expect.

It all started with the most helpful Jacob, who helped us organise the tour, listened to all the special requests and adjusted the tour when our flight home was changed.

We then got to meet our guide, Fredy, who was the best guide we could wish for. We went on exciting and informative game drives, and in the evening, we had a lot of fun over dinner learning Swahili and talking about our lives.

Overall, this has been one of the greatest travel experiences we have ever had.

We highly recommend booking the trip with Jacob, and make sure to ask for Fredy and then you will definitely have an amazing time!

5/5

Great price, great communication from the beginning which really put us at ease. And questions were answered promptly and any problems we had were resolved and talked through. We would do another trip again through Jacob as he made the whole process great and Freddy was an excellent driver and guide.

Excellent experience, knowledgeable and friendly
5/5

Jacob and Freddy have been terrific! From the beginning Jacob was prompt in accommodating and developing an itinerary that worked for our group. He went above and beyond to schedule our COVID19 testing with a local doctor before our departure.

Freddy was our safari guide and driver and was with us during the entire stay. He understood what animals we wished to see and worked hard to spot them. He was great company and very knowledgeable about the culture, animals, plants and may other questions we asked during our trip together.

We highly recommend using Smile with us travel and would use them again.

5/5

Jacob was the man behind the operation, he was very helpful in answering my questions and helped me plan the trip and SAVE money. Yes! He helped me SAVE money on lodging by offering the Taji Rest House, which is a great lodge in the middle of the Serengeti (5 stars to the staff that work there, as well). The prices were great, better than other companies.

Freddy was the man behind the wheel. He did a great job. He has eyes like binoculars... most of the time, he saw the animals before we did. He had extensive knowledge of all of the animals, as well as the area, itself. He answered all of my questions and did his best to make sure that we saw as many animals as possible... which we did. I'm very happy.

The Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater are amazing. I highly recommend going to both places for your safari, and I highly recommend booking your trip with SmileWithUsTours. Also, one more thing I forgot to add: Freddy recommended that I double-check my flight, because he said Precision Air cancels flights a lot... and he was right. Thanks to him, I was able to find out that my flight was delayed and I was able to stay at the safari longer. Thanks again, guys!

Unforgettable experience in a lifetime
5/5

We had booked a safari to Selous. It was the best experience we had in our life. It was beyond our expectations.

Starting from quotation until the end, everything was clear. Jacob informed us about everything and helped us with getting a pcr test in Dar Essalaam.

The accommodation, jeep, driver/guide (Hassan) and food were well organized, clean and good. No hidden costs or disappointments.

We truly recommend everyone to book with Smiles with us Tours.

Amazing 5D/4N safari in 4 national parks: we saw ALL ANIMALS we wanted to!
5/5

Great safari with great guide! Fredy shown us looooooots of animals - lions, cheetahs, leopard, flamingos, zebras, elephants, rhinos, giraffes and many more. Accommodation and food were excellent as well. Fredy knows everything: about animals, national parks and their history, and also he his English is perfect. But the most valuable thing was his amazing eyesight! Fredy sees animals even when they hide in the grass, even if they far away from us! He can predict their behaviour. That's why we have seen everything we wanted to. So I absolutely recommend this company and this guide. Thank you for unforgettable and safe trip!

Great experience with the Professionals !
5/5

We had 3day/2nights (with one full day game) safari at Selous with "Smile with us tours in Africa". The journey has fulfilled all our expectations. Despite the fact that January is not the best period for safari we were lucky with the weather and have managed to see huge number of the animals.

The key to success of our safari was Hassan, our guide and driver: real professional and very nice man. Hassan explained us how to act, what to do/not to do when animals come close to you. His percistence in tracking the Lion was something. If somebody told me before safari that you can approach to the Lion less than for 2 meters, I would say it's not possible...but it is!

Thank you, Hassan! I hope to see you again sometime..

5/5

The whole trip was really amazing. Hasan knew exactly where to go, all the different spots and routes to find us the best animals and get the pictures and videos for a unforgettable trip. I was able to plan a surprise engagement with Hasan and Jacob, and everything went perfectly.

Professional guide and wonderful experience
5/5

Communication was fast and easy. I had exact information and very good service.

We visited Selou game reserve and Mikumi national park. They were very different from each other: in Mikumi there was savanna and in Selou it was more forest and brushwood. Our guide called was Hassan and he was polite, nice and knew a lot about animals and nature and what is the most important: he respected animals and the beautiful nature around us.

I recommend Smile with us tours!
